How Staged Ossiculoplasty is performed
After cholesteatoma control and ear cavity stabilization, ossicular chain reconstruction is performed to improve conduction. The incus-stapes joint and tympanic membrane support are often assessed under a microscope or endoscope, and autologous materials or partial/total ossicular replacement prostheses (PORP/TORP) are selected, supplemented by cartilage support and tympanic membrane repair to improve stability. Postoperative attention is paid to implant position, tympanic membrane healing, and barometric pressure tolerance, and hearing changes are followed up. The above is general health information, not medical advice; specific details are subject to specialist evaluation and hospital protocols.
